Sessions

Notes relating to individual meetings and sessions are in this section.

VCS Discussion

In this session, we'll present on and discussion the on-going investigation of VCS choices for FreeBSD. Ollivier will lead presenting on Mercurial; hopefully we can get Nik and CLK there in person to talk about SVN/SVK. The goal of this meeting is not to make a decision, but to give the advocates of particular systems a chance to describe their features and demonstrate workflow.

ZFS and gjournal

Pawel will demonstrate ZFS on FreeBSD, discuss the FreeBSD porting work, and his plans for the future. He will also present on gjournal, a storage framework for supporting block level journaling of file systems (including UFS).

Other things to discuss, probably in a working group session rather than presentation session:

Distributed audit support

Audit and MAC

Getting AUDIT into GENERIC

MAC and IPSEC

NFSv4 ACLs

Discuss potential new areas of TrustedBSD work, such as privilege models

Meeting of the Network Stack Cabal

It would be useful to discuss:

Topic

Discussion Leader

Redesign of accept filters to work better with the socket/pcb state machine--one possibility is to move towards a predicate model (suggested by Colin Percival) to address the current locking and recursion issues.

How do we convince Silby to finish making the tcpsecure changes he's been talking about forever?

Other points for discussion, possibly in smaller working groups:

Finishing the move to if_startmbuf now that multi-queue issues are understood.

Ports Collection

Linimon will hold a workshop for discussing where we are and where we are going. Of particular interest are going to be the state of ports on amd64, as that architecture becomes more and more prevalent.

Bugbusting/PR Database

We know that to some extent that people do not work on bugs because of how awkard it is to browse GNATS. Linimon will try to talk about "what are we trying to accomplish", leading towards thinking about "what our ideal system requirements would be".
